Web Services announces a new WordPress theme, Astrid, developed by aThemes. To get an idea for the look and feel of this new theme, check out the Astrid demo sites built by Web Services: Ocean Impacts and Prof. Haywood. This theme will be available to any site currently in the WordPress network and for new requests.

Astrid features:

Splash header image

Modern design

“Fixed background” image scrolling features

“Widgetized” pages / templates

Fully mobile responsive

Language / Translation ready

Examples of sites that are utilizing the full potential of the Astrid theme features:

Astrid relies heavily on the customizer and widgets to build out the optional scrolling pages and you may find that you need some guidance if you’d like to make a switch. If you’re interested, Web Services staff will be available in Open Labs to talk about the theme and assist with transitioning sites.
